The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter I

[hippocrachus]

"A pleasure, Sielwoodan," he says to his fellow elf. "My sense of adventure has been piqued, and I would surely enjoy venturing into the swamp lands as soon as possible. The answers to our questions will best be answered there. Besides, Mother Grundy's house is on the way, if we were to set out tomorrow, we could stop by and ask her as much as you like before we delve too deep in this mystery," Calenthang points out, sliding his plate away and kicking back in his chair.

"I would enjoy the opportunity of meeting with Old Mother Grundy. Even if she has relinquished her practice of the Art, she still may present a new viewpoint." Andreas finishes his meal, then delicately dabs the corners of his mouth with a tattered but clean handkerchief.

"Excellent food they serve here. A long way above the normally cold and greasy fair taverns all too often provide."

It is getting quite late as Griselda brings out a plate of mutton for Caelbryn. "Here ya go cutey," she says with a smile. Many of the patrons have started shuffling out to their homes or up to their rooms for the night. Froobert comes over motioning for Griselda to clean up and close the place up. "Your rooms will be free for the night, but I'm sorry to say I only have 3 spare ones for you. Our village is not that large and does not have many visitors so our rooms are not many I'm afraid. Please take your time finishing up your meals," he explains, as he lays three keys on the table.

"Hey, no problem. I can share. I don't suppose I can bring my dog up with me. He's specially trained and will give you no troubles, I can guarentee you."

 

[Majin]

"As long as you clean up after him sir halfling, and your roommates can deal with another "body" in the room with them during the night, please feel free," Froobert says warmly.

"Yes. Rex can sleep in front of the door. That way, there is less risk of unwanted visitors."

OOC: Shall we skip to morning?

 

[hippocrachus]

(OOC: That's a sound idea Manzanita.)

In the morning, Calenthang comes down to the great room and orders a small breakfast (his dinner having filled him rather well) and waits for the others to join him.

 

[Velmont]

"If room are missing, I would not mind to sleep in the stable. Felmir will sleep better and would in better mind for tommorow. He don't like much being left alone for the night."

The night before

As the others decide to turn in for the night, Ayden knows he will not be able to turn in without paying his respects to Finder before resting for the night.

As he did last night, Ayden approached the innkeeper and requested permission to play on the stage, taking out his violin as he did so.

While the night might be merry around him, Ayden's mind is filled with all the pieces to the puzzle before him, and it is reflected in the music he plays. He will play Finder's lament, a piece composed to show Finder's remorse for his years of vanity and pride.

After the song is over, Ayden feels more at peace and turns in for the night.

Dawn

Waking from a dark dream filled with lizardmen preparing to sacrifice his companions to a dragon who lived deep within the swamp, it took Ayden a few minutes to relax fully and hear the sweet music that came with communing with Finder. However, once the tranquil peace washed through him, Ayden opened his heart and soul to Finder, and felt his spirit lift as he prayed.

~Well Uncle, we venture into the swamp today...~


OOC: Will make list of spells in a few mins...

Mosslime: Finhead Saurial/Male

Mosslime finds himself tired after his many hours of exploration and more than willing to go to sleep when the chance brings itself to them.

OOC: Skiping ahead is fine with me, don’t go to far your DM might have other planes for the night and such.
